The members of the fictional Kurc family experienced many extreme hardships during the long years of the war, but they survived. We know that millions were murdered and most of those who survived left Europe and established new lives on other continents. We all know, of course, what happens to the Jews of Europe between 19. Only one of the adult children, Addy, is away from home in France. The family is Jewish, living in Poland, going about their normal lives. The novel chronicles the experience of the Kurc family, beginning in the spring of 1939. This is a Second World War story with a difference.
